At Let’s Pretend Tea Parties, children and parents gather for imagination-fueled fetes that begin with dress-up transformations and conclude with cupcake-sweetened teatimes. Little girls or boys choose from dozens of fanciful frocks, vintage hats, and accessories to style their own princess, pirate, or magic president outfit. The makeovers continue as girls’ tresses are swept into regal updos and shimmering makeup is brushed over eyelids and cheeks, and temporary tattoos are pressed to the biceps of boys and interested girls. Lips are glossed for frog-kissing, and nails are polished for queenly waves to adoring crowds of teddy bears.

Let’s Pretend Tea Parties’ rosy walls and sparkling chandeliers overlook tea tables whose surfaces are covered with polka-dot pots and cups as well as decadent cupcakes, whose ingredients can be adjusted for allergies if staff is notified ahead of time.
